About

Star Drop

Features
Read full description

Drop asteroids. Merge planets. Forge a BLACK HOLE. Star Drop is the oddly satisfying space merge game you can't put down — one thumb, endless chain reactions, no wifi needed. HOW IT WORKS Drop celestial bodies into the gravity well. When two identical objects touch, they fuse into something bigger: pebbles become asteroids, asteroids become comets, comets become moons… all the way up to stars. Merge two stars and you'll forge a BLACK HOLE that devours everything on screen. Sounds simple. Then the pile starts rising toward the event horizon, and suddenly you're one clutch merge away from disaster — or a monster chain reaction. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • One-thumb controls — drag to aim, release to drop • Real physics — every pile settles, rolls, and topples differently • Chain reactions that play rising musical notes as they cascade • The black hole: the most satisfying screen-clear in mobile gaming • Runs perfectly offline — planes, subways, dead zones • Quick 2-minute rounds that turn into "one more run" FAIR & SIMPLE Free to play with optional ads. One cheap purchase removes interstitials forever. No energy systems, no timers, no accounts, no nonsense. How far up the chain can you get? Some players may never see the black hole. Will you?
